to the electronic version of the article are often available through
the Find Text feature 
.
If the article is only available in print, Find Text will give you the
library's call number (location) for the journal. If the library doesn't
own it, Find Text will link to and automatically fill-in an Interlibrary
Loan form.

Dictionaries, Encyclopedias and Handbooks
Reading about your
topic in a specialized encyclopedia, dictionary, or handbook may be
one of the most effective and time saving research tips. These resources
can help you define unfamiliar terms, understand the parameters of current
debate in a particular area and provide you with a preliminary bibliography
on the subject. Here are a few sources to get you started. For more,
search the library catalog by keyword.
